Since 2002, over 400 Deputy Principals have attended Deputy Principals' Conferences and openly shared best practice based on their own direct experience. Responding to their request for opportunities to jointly attend leadership-focused professional development events with their Principals, IPPN will host the fifth IPPN Conference for Deputy Principals on the evening of Monday 19th and all day Tuesday, 20th May 2008 at the Carlton Shearwater Hotel, Ballinasloe, Co.
